I don't spend my life worrying about every turn. Why did you post the video if you can't take the feedback from others of what our first impression is from watching it?

I don't understand, I can handle it, I am now sharing my opinion of you and your type, this is a forum right?

And I said near dusk, sun was still up

And by sensitive you mean defending my sport from people that want us to slow down, be quite, and just cruise? Yes I am sensitive to that.

The "hull truth" is a great place to discuss how to try to control everyone else, this is an offshore enthusiast site :D

I'm not trying to control you. I enjoy driving fast, whether it be a boat, car, atv, etc. I love offshore boating. We're being restricted like crazy here in and around Rochester (25 mph speed limit 1,500' out into Lake Ontario, 25 mph in Irondequoit Bay, 45 mph on Canandaigua Lake, etc). This year alone I've ponied up cash and attended town board meetings to fight the latest speed and anchoring restrictions on Lake Ontario, just offshore Rochester. Slam me all you want, but I fight for our ability to drive fast. I'm just pointing out that single incidents can result in new restrictions (it did for us), and that even when you think you're in the right, it's often hard to prove it, and we still end with new laws anyways.

Absolutely /Positively ... I dont own a jet ski but have had numerous discussions with our water police and was told just like in your car you have to be able to stop to avoid a accident . If a boat or jet-ski in front of you decides to move over or do a complete 360 turn they have the ROW .U have to be able to stop /avoid accident just like in your car.I know it does'nt seem right or fair but thats the law
Jeff

I did avoid the accident/ collision, are you people watching a different video?

So if you ate driving down the road and someone pulls in front of you, and you can't stop in time it is you fault?

You people amaze me lol.

Must be. I didn't see you lift on the throttle or swerve in the one I saw.

Wait a minute! So there's this guy, out on the lake that is pretty much deserted and along comes this PWC wanting to "race" and HE is supposed to slow down? I can tell ya, if it were me, I'd have done the same thing. You guys are acting like he was plowing through a no wake zone with kids floating around!! The PWC CAME TO HIM!!! He was minding his own business and running his boat on an open lake.

BTW, how was he driving too fast for conditions? Wasn't the PWC doing so as well? He DID avoid the collision too!
